*gets bigger, and therfore better avvy*Anyway, I agree with Qyz about avatars; they're great for recognising another member at a glance (Ironically, I hate Qyz's new avvy for that reason). At Rayman Pirate Community*, another forum I visit, you have to have an avatar that is given to you automatically depending on your ting** count. In the low ranks, you rank up often, so you can't really recognise people this way, especially when multiple people have that rank. I prefer it when people have the higher ranks, because I can recognise them immediately; the supermod Xenon has Reflux 2, our 3rd top poster Beebop has Rayman 3 and the Admin has his own special Bad Rayman*** rank. So yeah, individual avatars is great.*I'm so cool, I'm a member of TWO separate video game related forums. ******You get tings for posting, and you can donate tings to others. Mods can also remove/add tings.***Everyone else but him calls it Dark Rayman. ****First time I've ever used that emoticon or seen it used.

There appears to be server issues in http://img172.imageshack.us/ (where the Blizzard's image was saved).Normally, those are restored in a few hours But if you're not sure, you can ask Cody if he still has the image in his HDD.

I'm pretty sure that question is answered somewhere in this topic, but to reiterate:They make everything cluttered and harder to read, and just provoke an all around unproffesional feeling. Perhaps we might change our minds down the road, but right now we just don't like Sigs.

Thanks! At first I was thinking, "How am I going to put Kiddy up there?", I thought that the only sprite where he looks at you lively is that sprite, there was the other sprite where you complete a bonus stage with him, but I forgot about that. He can't really fit on there anyway.

The main problem was size, at first the name had a very huge space between gamer and boy, so it was too wide, and had to start all over again , but it all payed off .

To me, the file size limit was the hardest thing for me to deal with, so I had to crop my avatar. Another thing was placing my name in it, because it would block too much of the photo. It's pretty hard to do a good avatar when the size is too small...

Wouldn't there be an option to turn them off though? You could probably even set them off as the default.

I'm trying to make a new avatar, but I'm having trouble trimming it down to 16 Kb. Right now it's at 18.1, and I've got it as small as I'd like it. Does anyone know how I could compress that just a bit?

Speaking of avatars, if anyone can locate a screenshot of the lost world from DKC2 as depicted in my current avatar, only with the kremling head's mouth open. I'm trying to replicate my old avatar and can't seem to find a picture with the mouth open.

EDIT: By the way, I've created a few DKCR avatars if anybody wants to use them.

In light of my recent return and resolve to resume regular posting, I've decided I should probably choose an avatar. While there's nothing wrong with those which are currently available, my long absence has made it a little difficult to know which of them are currently in use. I would make my own, as the guides that have been posted seem simple enough even for the technologically backwards individual I happen to be, but I lack regular pc access. Basically, I'm requesting someone with the requisite knowledge and equipment to make me one. I'd like it to be done in the television screen style of the official avatars, and my preferred characters would be either Manky Kong or Klap Trap. In return I'll toss you a banana for your hoard and my eternal gratitude.
